The rapid acquisition and generality of skills are important considerations when developing teaching techniques in various educational settings. Acquiring skills without direct teaching reduces instructional time, improves efficiency, and saves money. These desirable outcomes can be achieved through generative instruction such as matrix training. Numerous studies have evaluated the effectiveness of the matrix training strategy, but there are several procedural variations in developing a matrix training procedure. The current literature requires a comprehensive review to determine what strategies are effective when arranging a matrix training procedure and directions for future research. The purpose of this literature review was to identify all of the studies that have used a matrix training approach to teach a skill. A total of 35 articles (containing 40 experiments) were identified and included in this review. The articles were coded according to several parameters including participant characteristics, dependent and independent variables, outcomes, maintenance, and social validity. The results of this review indicate the variation in implementation strategies employed during matrix training. Limitations of the current literature as well as directions for future research are discussed.

矩阵培训文献的系统回顾

在各种教育环境中发展教学技术时，技能的快速掌握和普遍性是重要的考虑因素。在不进行直接教学的情况下获得技能可以减少教学时间，提高效率并节省资金。这些理想的结果可以通过生成式指导（例如矩阵训练）来实现。许多研究已经评估了矩阵训练策略的有效性，但是在制定矩阵训练程序方面存在一些程序上的变化。当前的文献需要进行全面的回顾，以确定在安排矩阵训练程序和未来研究方向时有效的策略。这篇文献综述的目的是确定所有使用矩阵训练方法教授技能的研究。总共鉴定了35篇文章（包含40个实验），并将其纳入本评价。文章是根据几个参数编码的，包括参与者特征，因变量和自变量，结果，维持率和社会有效性。审查的结果表明在矩阵训练过程中采用的实施策略有所不同。讨论了当前文献的局限性以及未来研究的方向。
